Wouldn't call it a flight sim exactly. But interesting and maybe a novelty for a time.

Thanks for the link. It kind of reminds me of the early flat-shaded flight sims that came out in the 286-486 era. Cheers!

It's pretty neat. Kind of an odd melding of 50's era jet fighters and ..well..another planet...but hey..it works. Fun distraction..reminds me of the good ole days on my 8088 and 386sx..hehe

*edit* and yes would be awesome on mobile devices...I'm still waiting for the early combat missions..that would be my wish...for some early sims and turn based strategy to make it on android/iphone.

I d/l'd it, haven't played yet. Curious to see how the control is implemented (mouse only?).

Basically posted this so original posting didn't get lost in the shuffle?
